I see it ended at $470,100.00 with the reserve not met.

Ya, I was gonna bid $470,101 and it would be just my luck that would be the reserve.

And then what would I do with another Babe Ruth Contract?

Sheesh Jeff -- you coulda displayed with your collection of Tiger's green jackets!

Actually, I gave the Green Jackets to Goodwill.... it just got too aggrevating with Tiger showing up at all hours wanting to see how he looked in them, prancing around in the mirror and all....

Jeff

Well, if not Tiger's - how 'bout Mikey's? I'm sure da Babe's contract should fit with SOMEONE'S green jacket!! Or ... how 'bout "la coupe Stanley"? Would it fit with that??

Stanley Cup.... just sits around collecting dust....

The cup was in Callander, ON (where my golf course is) is August.

Jeff, what a good looking son! And what a thrilling moment for him -- he'll remember that all his life!

It was really great. There were probably a couple of thousand people out to have their chance to have their pic with the cup as well.

I remember seeing an entire kids hockey team in front of us from the Ottawa Valley area which is a couple of hours away all decked out in their team jersey's (remember this is in August) and I thought that is great, that is what seeing the Stanley Cup is all about.

The owners and players should remember, that is what the winning the Stanley Cup is all about..... it is about the history and the past glory..... not another million dollars.... too bad the game has lost its focus.
